Joke of the Day, 10/9/08

Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson went camping. They pitched their tent under the stars and went to sleep. In the middle of the night, Holmes woke Watson up and said: “Watson, look up at the stars and tell me, what do you see?”

Watson replied: “I see millions and millions of stars.”

Holmes said: “And what do you deduce from that?”

Watson replied: “Well, if there are millions of stars, and if even a few have planets, it’s quite likely there are some planets like Earth out there. And if there are a few planets like Earth out there, there might also be life waiting for us to discover it.”

And Holmes said: “Watson, you idiot, it means that somebody stole our tent.”
